BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- What's the most exciting two minutes in sports without a mint julep in one hand and classic Derby food in the other? Meal inspiration leader eMeals and Woodford Reserve, the official bourbon of the 146^th Kentucky Derby, have made it easy to entertain this year with a simple-to-prepare "Derby Day Celebration" menu for eight that brings a touch of the Bluegrass State to you and your guests as you watch the Run for the Roses from the comfort of your couch – wherever you are.

Riders up!: Starting with a mint julep made with Woodford Reserve (of course!), the Derby Day Celebration menu features signature Kentucky dishes like Pecan Cheese Biscuits with Country Ham and Blackberry Mustard, Mini Hot Browns inspired by those served at The Brown Hotel in Louisville, and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. The lineup also includes Pickled Shrimp and Mixed Berries with Orange Bourbon Whipped Cream, creating a spread fit for the winner's circle. Each item can be prepared in a snap, and – a bonus! – two of the dishes are infused with the bourbon you know and love.

Self-shop or online grocery: Simply select the dishes you want to make and Woodford Reserve from the eMeals mobile app, and eMeals will create a shopping list that you can use in-store at your local grocery (just look it up on your phone) or tap for pickup or delivery from Walmart, AmazonFresh, Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway, H.E.B., or the retailers served by Instacart and Shipt. It's the fastest and easiest way to shop for everything you need for the big race.
